My first pair of Dr. Martens. That's why I can bring no prior experience here. But I always wanted to have some. And the Vintage Edition seemed just right for their slightly heavier version. What can I say: Delivery was quick, the shoe is solid and fits like a glove. Blisters or pressure points there is nothing to remember. Because every foot is different, that must of course do not apply to everyone. I like my new Dr. Martens!
